The abovenamed period of six years is to be applied to persons born in Denmark or the ceded territories who may not be within the Dan , sh Kingdom or the Dachies at the time of the exchange of the ratifications of the present Art 10. Up to the period when the Duchies definitively undertake the sum they agree to pay, according to Article 8 of the present treaty, instead of their share of the common debt of the Danish monarchy, they shall pay half-yearly 2 par cent. of the abovenamcd amount (viz., 580,000 thalers, in Danish currency), This payment shall be made in such manner that the interest ancrinstalments of the Danish debt, hitherto payable by the Treasuries of the Duchies, shall also in fuure be defrayed by those same funds. _ These payments shall.be made half-yearly, and in case they do not attain the above stated sum the Duchies shall pay the remainder to the Danish Financial Department in hard cash, or, in the contrary case, the surplus will be repaid to them equally in hard cash. The liquidation between Denmark and the authorities charged with the supervision of the Duchies is to take place in the manner laid down by this present Article, or quarterly as this may be deemed necessary by one side or the other. The first payment shall be specially directed to defray the interest and instalments of the common debt of the Danish Monarchy which were paid after Dec. 23, 1863. Art. 11. The sums constituting the so-called Holstein- Ploen equivalent, the remainder of the compensation money for the former possessions of the Duke of Augustenburg, including the priority debt with which they are charged, and the Crown-land bonds Schleswig and Holstein, shall fall to the exclusive burden of the Duchies. Art. 12. The Governments of Prussia and Austria shall be repaid the expenses of the war by the Duchies. Art. 13. His Majesty the King of Denmark binds him self; immediately atter the exchange of the ratifications of the present treaty, to give up all German, Austrian, and Prussian ships, with their cargoes, which have been captured during the war, to remove the embargoes laid upon neutral ships carrying cargoes belonging to Prussian, Austrian, and German subjects; and finally, to return all ships captured by Denmark on account of any military reason in the ceded Duchies. The above named objects shall be bona fide re turned in the condition in which they were at the time of their capture. In cases where the objects to be returned are no longer in existence their value shall be paid, and if they have suffered considerable depreciation in value since their capture the owners shall be compensated accordingly. It is equally acknowledged as a binding obligation to compere sate the charterers and freighters of ships, as well as the owners of the cargoes, for all expenses and direct losses which can be proved to have resulted from embargoes on ships, and to indemnify them for harbour and station dues, judicial and other costs, incurred for the provisioning or sending home ships and crews. With regard to such ships as cannot be returned in na tio a, the principle governing the compensation to bo given shall be the value of the vessels at the time of their capture. As regards destroyed, or no longer existent cargoes, com pensation shall be guided by the value they would have had at the place of their destination at the time when it may be assumed the ship would have probably arrived. Their Ma jesties the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria will equally return merchant vessels captured by their troops or ships of war, with their cargoes, in so far as the same be long to private persons. Where the return cannot be made in nature, compensation according to the principles above laid down will be paid. Their Majesties at the same time bind themselves to calculate the amount in money value of the contributions levied by their troops in Jutland. This sum shall be deducted from the compensation to be paid by Den mark, according to the principles laid down in the presettt Article.. Their Majesties the King of Prussia and the Em peror of Austria, with the King of Denmark, will nominate a special commission to settle the amount of the respective compensations, and which shall meet in Copenhagen at latest within six weeks after the exchange of the ratification of the present treaty. This commission shall endeavour to accomplisk its task within three months. Should all the claims which may be laid before it not be agreed upon after that period, those still remaining unsettled shall be subjected to the decision of an arbitrator. Their Majesties the King of Prussia, the Emperor of Austria, and the King of Denmark will come to an understanding for this purpose in choosing an arbitrator. The compensations will be paid at latest within four weeks after they have been finally settled. Art. 14. The Danish Government remains charged with the repayment of all sums paid into the Danish Treasury, by subjects of the Duchies), by oowmunes, by public insti tutions and corporations, as deposits, caution moneys, or trust funds. Among others the following shall be repaid to the Duchies 1. The deposit destined for redemption of the Holstein Bank notes. 2. The funds to be devoted to building prisons. 3. The fire assurance money. 4. The deposit fund, 5. The capital derived from legacies belonging to the communes or public institutions in the Duchies. 6. The cash balances derived from the separate revenue of the Duchies, and which were bona fide in their treasuries at the time of the Federal execution and the occupation of these countries. An international commission will be commissioned to liquidate the amount of the above sums, and to deduct the expenses falling upon the separate administration of the Duchies. The collection of antiquities at Flensburg bear ing upon the history of Schleswig, but for the most part dis persed since recent eve n t s , i s t o be re-collected in that town with the assistance of the Danish Government. Equally Danish subjects, communes, public institutions,and corpora-. dons shall be repaid in full by the new Government all the sums they have paid as deposits, caution moneys, or trust funds into the Treasuries of the Duchies.

For this object it has been agreed to draw up a list of all these pensions, to capitalise the value of their life -rent amounts, and to invite all cons cerned to declare wh e th er they w i s h t o d raw their pensions in future in the Kingdom or in the Duchies. In cases where, in consequence of thes e d ec l arat i ons th e proportion between the two parts— t.e., bet ween that c h arge d upon the Duchies a nd that falling to the burden of the Kingdom—shall not correspond to the principle of division according to the re spective populations, the difference shall be borne by that part thereby affected.

All treaties and agreements concluded between the high contracting parties before the war are again made valid, in so far as they are not abrogated or modified by the con tents of the present treaty. Art. 3. His Majesty the King of Denmark renounces all his rights over the Duchies of Schleswig, Holstein, and Lauenburg, in favour of their Majesties the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria, binding himself to recognise all decrees which their above-named Majesties may issue as regards the said Duchies. Art. 4. The cession of the Duchy of Schleswig includes all the islands appertaining thereto, as well as the territory on the mainlar d. To simplify the frontier line and to avoid the inconveni ences which arise from the position of the Jutland enclaves situate in Schleswig, his Majesty the King of Denmark makes over to their Majesties the King of Frussia and the Emp - iror of Austria the Jutland possessions which lie to the south of the south frontier line of the district of Ribe, viz., the Jutland territory of Moegel-Tondern, the island Amrom, the Jutland portion of the isles of Fohr, Sylt, and Romoe. In return their Majesties the King of Prussia and the Em peror of Austria grant that an equivalent portion of Schles wig, which comprises besides the island of Aeroe such por tions of territory as serve to connect the above-named dis trict of Ribe with the rest of Jutland, and to regulate the frontier line between Jutland and Schleswig on the Kolding side, shall be separated from the Duchy of Schleswig and incorporated in the Kingdom of Denmark. Art 5. The new frontier between the Kingdom of Den mark and the Duchy of Schleswig starts from the middle of the Bay of liejlsminde, in the Little Belt, and after tra versing that bay it follows the south border of the parishes of Hejls, Vejstrup, and Taps ; it follows the latter until it reaches the water which is situate south of Gejlbjerg and Bramore ; it then follows that stream from its mouth in the Fovs-Aa along the south boundary of the parishes of Oedis and Vandrup, and thence along the south boundary of the latter to the Konge-As, to the north of Holte. From this point the valley of the Kenge-Aa will form the boundary line as far as the eastern limit of the parish of Bjortlund. From this point the line follows the same boundary till it reaches the promontory north of the village Obekjar and then the east boundary of that village to the Gjels-Aa. From thence the east boUndaries of the parishes Seem, Ribe, and Vester Vedstedt form the new frontier line which in the North Sea will run in equal distance between the islands Monoe and Romoe. In consequence of this new frontier line both parties agree to regard as annulled all claims and titles, as well civil as religious, which have hitherto prevailed in the enclaves on the islands and in the mixed parishes. Consequently the new sovereign power will enjoy its full rights in this re spect in every portion of territory separated by the new frontier line. Art, 6. An international commission, composed of the representatives of the high contracting Powers, will be charged, immediately after the change of the ratifications of the present treaty, with settling upon the spot the line of the new frontier, in accordance with the stipulations of the preceding Article. This commission will also have to apportion the expenses of constructing the new road from Ribe to Tondern between the Kingdom of Denmark and the Duchy of Schleswig, in proportion to the extent of the respective territory it will pass through. The same commission will preside at the division of the real estate and property which has hitherto belonged in common to the districts or communes inter sected by the new frontier. Art. 7. The stipulations of Articles 20, 21, and 22 of the treaty concluded between Austria and Russia upon the 3d of May, 1815, which forms an integral part of the general act of the Vienna Congress (stipulations with regard to proprietors of mixed lands, to the rights they exercise, and to the relations of neighbours upon landed properties bisected by frontiers), shall be applied to the landed pro prietors and possessions in Schleswig and Jutland which are in the cases provided for by the above-mentioned regu lations of the Vienna Congress. Art. 8. To obtain a fair distribution of the national debt of the Danish Monarchy in proportion to the respective po pulations of the Kingdom and of the Duchies, and to pro vide at the same time against the invincible obstacles which a detailed explanation of mutual rights and claims would occasion, the high contracting Powers have settled the round sum of 29 million thalers (Danish currency) as the share of the national debt of the Danish Monarchy falling to the charge of the Duchies. Art. 9. The share of the national debt of the Danish Monarchy with which the Duchies are charged in accord ance with the preceding article shall be paid under the guarantee of their Majesties the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria, as the debt of the three above-named Duohies, to the Kingdom of Denmark, within the period of a year, reckoned from the definitive organisation of the Duchies, or if possible still earlier. To defray this debt the Duchies may avail themselves, wholly or in part, of one or other following methods of payment : , 1. Payment in hard cash, 75 Prussian thalers being taken as an equivalent to 100 Danish rigsdalers. 2. Payment to the Danish Treasury in 4 per cent. non returnable bonds belonging to the internal debt of the Danish monarchy. to 3.

The privileges and facilities in reference to the transit dues, granted by Art. 2 of the Treaty of March 14, 1857, for those goods which may be conveyed either by the roads or canals connecting, or which may in future connect, the German Ocean with the Baltic, shall also be extended to such goods as may be transported by any other means of communication either in the Kingdom or the Duchies.

Art. 24. The present treaty shall be ratified, and the ratifications exchanged at Vienna, within three weeks, or as soon as may be possible.

The Danish officials will without hesitation supp!y the allied troops with whatever provisions and means of trans port they may require during their stay on Jutland terri tory. The Danish Government will hold their commission ers responsible for the fulfilment of this condition. The - supplies mentioned in this Article shall be limited to the merest necessities. 4. All hospitals, field-posts, and telegraph lines at pre sent established for the use of the allied troops will continue to be used by them until the evacuation of the said districts is fully completed ; nevertheless, this shall be done without prejudice to the similar institutions belonging to the Danish Administration.

It was yesterday announced in the garrison at Woolwich that Col. Hopkins, C,8., aide-de-camp to the Queen, and who succeeded a few weeks ago to the command of the divi sion of Royal Marine Light Infantry in that garrison, has requested and obtained permission to retire from the service with the full pay of his rank. The post of aide-de-camp which the gallant colonel has held for the last five years therefore becomes vacant. Col, Hopkins will retire from the service with the rank of major-general. He obtained the Commandership of the Bath and the appointment of aide de-camp to her Majesty in testimony of his arduous and efficient services while in command of a brigade in the Cri• mea, and retires at the early age of 55. His departure from Woolwich is much regretted. In the list of naval appointments which appears in The Sun of yesterday read James T. Syme instead of James T.

" The proposition to extend the Conscript Law to the slaves of the States was first formally advanced by the Enquirer i❑ the issue of the 6th inst. Since that time we have received many assurances of its popular favour, and none whatever of opposition to it. We learn that the planters in the extreme Southern States favour the proposition, and some have signified their readiness to free five, 10, or 15 of their slaves if they will enter the army. The near approach of the time when the Congress meets again requires that expression be given to the sen• timents of the country upon this important measure. We therefore earnestly invite its discussion, and open our columns to opponents as well as friends of the proposition. The result of the late elections is still in doubt, and whether Lincoln or M'Clellan will be elected it is yet impossible to determine, but there is no uncertainty as to the question of carrye ing on the war. Whether Lincoln or M'Clellan be the next President, the voice, the almost unanimous voice, of that people is for a vigorous prosecution of the war. The duty of preparing to meet that issue will be before the approaching Session of the Confederate Congress. That body will have before it for consideration the ways and means, as well as of men as of money, for carrying on the war on our part. The war cries of the enemy, 'No parley with rebellion in the field—no compromise with slavery in the readjustment fully inform our people that in plain vernacular the whites of these States are to be subjugated to slavery, and their slaves reduced to the miserable condition of Yankee free negroes. This is the view of the people among our enemies, and this will be the result of the war, whether ended by Lincoln or M'Clellan, if the people of these States permit theme selves to be conquered. The conscription of negroes should be accompanied with freedom and the privilege of remaining in the States ; this is no part of abolitionism, it is the exercise by the master of the unquestionable right of manumission ; it is remunerating those who defend our cause with the privilege of freedom. Nor should this important subject be prejudiced with questions about putting the negro on an equality with our friends, brothers, and fathers. Many of the soldiers in their child• hood were fondled and nursed by faithful negro nurses, and yet no question of equality was ever raised. Many a man has manumitted slaves with out ever being subjected to the suspicion of being an abolitionist. The issues involved in this war are too exalted in their importance and character for us to permit them to be compromised by being degraded to a question of property. The liberty and freedom of ourselves and of our children, the nae tionality of our country, the right of enjoying any kind of property, the houses over our heads, and the very graves of our children and friends, are involved in the struggle. Failure makes slaves of all, white and black ; robs all of property, real and personal ; divides our land among our con• qaerors, who will plough up the very graves of our dead as fertilised ground for making money. We have in our midst a half million of fighting mates rial which is property—shall we use that property for the common cause ? Justice and sound policy demand that we make freemen of those who fight for freedom. We conscript the master and we im• press his horses, cattle, wheat, and every other property except slaves. This very exception is an imputation that this war is for slavery and not for freedom. By conscripting the negroes we show to the world the earnestness that it is in our people ; we prove to our enemies that at the moment of our supposed exhaustion, in the fifth year of the war, we shall meet them with larger armies than we have before raised; and we explode the false accu sation that we are fighting for slavery, or a slaves holder's confederacy. There are those who doubt whether sound policy would trust negroes with arms. We are not of those who entertain any fears upon that subject. Drill and discipline make valu able soldiers of Russian serfs, and no negroes in these States are so ignorant and brutal as those serfs. Bel t ween service with the Confederacy and with the Yankees, between living among us,with their strong local attachments, and going among strangers, who are now openly buying and selling them to recruit ing officers, our slaves will find no difficulty in choosing. And when once it is understood that free• dom and a home in the South are the privileges offered by the Confederate authorities, while the enemy extend the beggarly hospitalities of Yankee philanthropy, not only will desertion from our ranks be unfrequent, but the draughted negroes of the Yankee armies will exchange services. This subject addresses itself to the consideration of our people at this particular time with great force. The prospect of four more years of war are before our people ; the enemy will not even parley with us without uncons dition al surrender, the fruits of which would be con fiscation of all property, the deportation of whole communities, the degradation of the people, and the domination and tyranny of Yankee masters. There can be no reconstruction which does not embrace a surrender first, which will not permit confiscation afterwards, which does not insure enslaving the whites without freeing the blacks. If there are any weak-kneed people who imagine they can save their property by reconstruction, let them study the shibboleth of all parties in the United States No parley with rebellion in the field; no compro mise with slavery in the adjustment.' Uncondie tional surrender is first demanded before even a parley. We are to lay down our arms and submit to the kindness of the Butlers, Grants, Shermans, and Sheridans ; to the fate of New Orleans, the condition of the valley, the misery of Atlanta, and, after all that degradation, to give up all our slaves in the adjustment. If there are any reasons against extending the conscription to slaves, we should like to have them stated, but we are decidedly of opinion that the whole country will agree to the proposi tion, and that at an early day the next Congress will be called upon to provide for it by law." The following is an extract from a despatch from Henry W. Allen, Confederate Governor of Louise iana, to the Secretary of War : " Executive.office, Shreveport, Louisiana, Sept. 26. "My dear Sir,—The time has come for us to put into the army every ablesbodied man as a soldier. This should be done immediately. Congress should, at the coming season, take action on this most im portant question. The negro knows that he can• not escape conscription if be goes to the enemy. He must play an important part in the war. He caused the fight, and he will have his portion of the burden to bear. We have learnt from dear.bought experience that negroes can be taught to fight, and that all who leave us are made to fight against us. I would free all able to bear arms, and put them into the field at once. They will make much better sole diers with us than against us, and swell the now depleted ranks of our armies. I beg you to give this your earnest attention. With assurances of my friendly regards and very high esteem, I remain, very respectfully, your obedient servant, " HENRY W.

A fresh supply of armour plates for the ironclad frigate Bellerophon, 14, 4,246 tone, 1,000 horse power, has been received at Chatham from the Millwall Company's Iron works. 't he plates weigh upwards of five tons each, and are five inches in thickness. Nearly the whole of the ar mour plates for the Lord Warden. ironcased frigate, 24, 1,000 horse power, have been received at Chatham dock yard from the Atlas Ironworks, Sheffield, in readiness to be bolted to the aides of the frigate. The planking for re ceiving the plates is completed, and arrangements art now in progress in the workshops adjoining the slip on which the Lord Warden is building for bending the plates to the form of the ship's side by means of powerful hydraulic machinery, the moulds for the plates having been in hand for some time. The sides of the Lord Warden will be incased in about 1,300 tons of armour plating, which will be carried down about aft. below the water- line ; and here the sides will be protected with plates nearly six inches in thickness, and each weighing nearly 10 tons. Altogether, the sides of the Lord Warden will be pro tected in their most vulnerable parts by seven inches of iron, exclusive of the timber teak backing, through which both shot and shell will have to penetrate before they reach the gunners or the interior of the frigate. Every exertion is being used to get the Lord Warden out of hand by as early a period as possible in the approaching year, and the number of mechanics and other hands employed about her exceeds 1,000, Most of the exterior planking, as well as the inch and a half plating in the interior, is now completed, and in the course of a week or so the operation of fixing the 51in and other armour-plates will be commenced, the Lord Warden being intended to be encased in armour from stern to stern before she leaves the building slip. , The wf hrot haer sc esst r ee e at w tmi n g itz u n ue sp v e e rh s ve s er e , l wi T si r c ne r o. c ws h t , ai nsn,ditinnh the hands c hr c iag k ng a di t C ns go h .f a . tr t h h he a e m vr ieg fi sg t s t ee i lr n si g s, rsgettingwill t w ob e eb l l o some tforwardh huttime nae i nndh longerme r a r c e h p ii a nn is e r dryo candakre beforegeneral eom p l eh te fi erd t m .e e x n t e t la 8 , but l The screw steam gunvessel Espoir, 5, commissioned last week at Devonport, by Commander Mountford S.

There was also some experimental fuze firing from the Armstrong shunt•gun, in order to satisfy the Committee whether the fault of the premature bursting lay with the gun or the fuze. The gnnboats took the Committee on board off Southsea beach at 10 30 a.m., and steaming out S.E. from the harbour the practice was carried out over the Horse and Dean Shoals, in the direction of Chichester and East Wittering, with the wind at east, and a slight roll of the sea, with the following results.
